Summary

*gold, silver, and the miners are trying to put in a s/t reversal. I could understand the bolder s/t bulls getting involved, with a stop around today’s low.

Gold/GLD: gold printed $1929, but did rebound to around $1944. Any upside in the dollar and bond yields remain a problem, and I see both variables as problems across the summer.

Silver/SLV: silver printed $22.52… not helped by the dollar, or the weak main market. Sub $20 still looks an eventuality. I’ll only take it seriously is >$30.

GDX: miners opened sig’ lower, but have recovered to broadly flat… helped by the upside reversal in the main market.

notable gold miner: GOLD

We’ve a reversal from orange gap.

notable silver miner: AG

A new multi-year low of $5.31.
If I thought the main market had a m/t floor, I’d be buying.

I’d accept you could argue we’re churning out a baby bear flag ahead of a Thursday. Daily momentum is weakening, but its still positive, and I’m guessing we will see a green Thursday.
